The MetaPlaces 09 conference in San Jose on 22 – 23 September will bring together the location business ecosystem to discuss the market potential and the solutions to capitalising on this new trend.
The event has been designed around the feedback and needs of the location-based service providers.
Another difficulty, adds Sylvain Grande, senior manager of business development at Nokia SoLo, is to ensure access to validated POI information.
Social services are exploding, and location is now a crucial element in providing context-based services. These services not only generate great value, but also vast quantities of social data ready to be mined once privacy issues are resolved.
New open platforms, easier access to map data and power shifts in the ecosystem are making it essential to renew partner networks continuously.
The MetaPlaces 09 conference will provide a place for the location-based/enhanced services and platforms providers, content publishers, ad enablers, wireless carriers and device manufacturers to meet, conduct business and discuss solutions to the key issues in the LBS world.
